NextBoston - Services

Manage international strategic growth, M&A and restructuring programs
NextBoston has a strong track record of effecting complex international restructuring projects for closely held and family companies. The NB partners, including those in Asia and Europe, are also uniquely qualified to assist in cross boarder M&A projects including market research, partner identification, negotiations, funding and post transaction integration.

Help shareholders restructure, restart, or reposition their businesses & raise capital
Reporting directly to Shareholders and their financial partners, NB designs, implements and manages the financial, human and business systems required to fund and grow promising companies. Capital and managerial requirements are evaluated against strategic plans and all resultant business functions are driven solely for value creation. NB has been particularly successful in restarting and achieving real value for companies struggling to overcome growth and funding plateaus.

Act as interim CEOs, CFOs and chairmen in early stage and closely held companies
Raising capital and achieving superior returns are fully dependent on creating and maintaining professional, disciplined management teams and systems. NB partners provide immediate credibility as they work to create the permanent systems required to support sustained growth. The founders are able to concentrate on their primary activities and at the appropriate stage, NB will participate in identifying and recruiting long term senior management.

Support PE/venture capitalists/angel groups with restructuring portfolio companies
NextBoston partners provide intensive, targeted intervention for troubled portfolio companies. As neutral professionals, NB partners are able to focus on the agreed goals of the shareholders, investors and financial partners without baggage or distraction.

Serve as professional board members/retained advisors
The NB partners bring exceptional skills to longer term advisory roles. Their extensive contacts and experience in fund raising, strategic planning, international growth, and business development can be leveraged to enhance growth and fundability. NB has particularly strong experience effecting pre and post M&A evaluation and integration.

Act as lead investors where companies met NB investment criteria
NB will make lead investments in certain companies that meet NB's and its financial partners' investment criteria. NB will take an interim, senior management role in all cases where it makes direct investments.
